If you’re new to boating holidays, then our recommendation would be to take your canal boat on the quieter Canal de Garonne. The calm waters are surrounded by an excellent towpath for cycling or mooring up at whenever or wherever.

The more adventurous of you might like the idea of a cruising itinerary along the smaller River Baïse. Travel under the cover of river bank trees between historic villages with their mills and bastides.

The Aquitaine offers numerous boating holiday itineraries so is a destination a lot of our Nicols customers come back to again and again. Make sure you enjoy a self-drive boating holiday from our base located at Buzet sur Baïse.
